Join Francis Scott Key on the choppy waters of the Chesapeake Bay in this stunning picture book that transports readers to one of the most important days in U.S. history. Gorgeous illustrations and a gripping account bring to life the perilous yet triumphant day during the War of 1812 that inspired Mr. Key to pen the words to America's national anthem. The text is brought to life by GRAMMYʼ nominated country music singer and songwriter Jo De Messina, who lends her powerful voice to the audio recording of the book, as well as The Star-Spangled Banner, America the Beautiful, and her personal tribute to the United States Armed Forces, Heaven was Needing a Hero, on the accompanying CD. The story, artwork, and music together will delight and inspire readers of all ages, while reminding us of the sacrifices made throughout history and today to keep America "the land of the free and the home of the brave."

A riveting account of America’s second war with England, from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Miracle of Dunkirk. At the dawn of the nineteenth century, the great powers of Western Europe treated the United States like a disobedient child. Great Britain blocked American trade, seized its vessels, and impressed its sailors to serve in the Royal Navy. America’s complaints were ignored, and the humiliation continued until James Madison, the country’s fourth president, declared a second war on Great Britain. British forces would descend on the young United States, shattering its armies and burning its capital, but America rallied, and survived the conflict with its sovereignty intact. With stunning detail on land and naval battles, the role Native Americans played in the hostilities, and the larger backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, this is the story of the turning points of this strange conflict, which inspired Francis Scott Key to write “The Star-Spangled Banner” and led to the Era of Good Feelings that all but erased partisan politics in America for almost a decade. It was in 1812 that America found its identity and first assumed its place on the world stage. By the author of A Night to Remember, the classic account of the sinking of the Titanic—which was not only made into a 1958 movie but also led director James Cameron to use Lord as a consultant on his epic 1997 film—as well as acclaimed volumes on Pearl Harbor (Day of Infamy) and the Battle of Midway (Incredible Victory), this is a fascinating look at an oft-forgotten chapter in American history.
